Denise Passero

I am brand new to the business of aromatherapy. I do not as yet have a business related to aromatherapy but am considering working on developing body care products. I plan to complete the scholars program as well.

Pippa Purcell

Plaza Midwood Massage

Pippa Purcell is a licensed massage therapist practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has a private practice and subcontracts for Carolinas Healthcare Systems where she provides massage services for employees and inpatients. The limited use of aromatherapy in the hospital piqued her interest in learning more, thinking "It's only aromatherapy. How hard could it be?" The short answer is: harder than she thought. Her studies continue and she hopes to incorporate aromatherapy more in her practice, and use her newfound knowledge in the hospital setting.

She has three children, numerous animals and a small side baking business that keep her occupied when not working or learning more about aromatherapy!

Star Juice Aromatherapy

Starjuice Aromatherapy is the creation of Darcey Pickard, Certified Aromatherapist & LMP. Darcey first discovered the power of aromatherapy and essential oils at a natural health store in College Park, MD, in 1991. She has been blending ever since!

Since opening her own massage practice in 1999, Darcey has continued to study aromatherapy through classes, reading, and experimenting with blends in her practice. In summer 2008, she completed her Masters Apprenticeship Aromatherapy Certification with the School for Aromatic Studies.

A full-time mom and "entrepreness," Darcey lives in West Seattle with her handsome husband Peter (a New Zealand import), her awesome cutey of a son Holden, and their trusty pooch Rocco. In her spare time she likes to play piano, garden, practice yoga, eat good food with great friends, and get massages & pedicures. (Oh, if there was only more spare time!)

Darcey's vision? To provide people with high quality, fun, hip products rooted in the history and tradition of aromatherapy. "I've always believed in holistic health—treating the whole person and unlocking people's innate power to heal themselves. Starjuice enables me to share this philosophy with the world.

Anne Putnam

The Essence of Pure Relaxation

I'm Anne Putnam, a Tennessee licensed massage therapist (LMT #9959), a Tennessee registered and certified reflexologist (RCR #88), a Colorado licensed massage therapist (LMT #17079), and a Certified Aromatherapist through the School for Aromatic Studies, and Professional Member of the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy. I'm here to help you feel more at ease in your body and to discover and create a relaxation routine that brings more peace and calm into your daily life.

Since 2006, I've been providing a space for my clients to experience relief from the stress and chaos of life through offering reflexology and aromatherapy services. In 2013, I completed the massage certification and since have accumulated 1000+ hours of instruction and hands-on practicum from both Eastern and Western wellness philosophies to create my unique approach to body•care; a perspective that considers the whole body--the physical body, the mental/emotional state, and the spirit. Over the years, I've worked in a variety of settings such as a salon, day spas, a chiropractic office, a yoga studio, and a destination resort spa. All of these experiences have helped me to define my private practice which focuses on promoting a deep sense of relaxation utilizing reflexology and generally supporting the immune system through lymphatic massage so that you may rebalance and rejuvenate the natural, innate healing mechanism that is present within you.
